Thalamic and cortical activities are assumed to be time-locked throughout all vigilance states. Using simultaneous intracortical and intrathalamic recordings, we demonstrate here that the thalamic deactivation occurring at sleep onset most often precedes that of the cortex by several minutes, whereas reactivation of both structures during awakening is synchronized. Delays between thalamus and...
On the question of time, there is a growing consensus in physics that a good theory of space-time should reconcile the presentism of quantum mechanics with the eternalism of general relativity, through a model that preserves both the creativity of time and the presence of the future. In previous papers (Guillemant _et al., _2018; Guillemant and Medale, 2019), we have proposed such a model...
